  • Skype
    • Some students in our class communicated with other students from Japan and England.
      • We talked through the "Confrencing" feature on Skype, or by talking personally through the phone option.
  • Nicenet.org
    • Many students communicated through nicenet.com.
      • We used the public messaging boards, and personal messages.
  • Video Confrence
    • One of the most entertaining ways of communication.
    • When we could schedual a time that worked for both classes (either Japan or England students), we talked through the Video option of Skype.com, and we were able to see eachother's classes!
    • This was very exciting for our class, getting to actually see the students we had been writing to back and fourth.

  • Building the Websites
    • How long did it take us?
      • As of February 28th, we have been working on our websites up to three times a week, for about seven weeks! This hard work has and will really pay off, though. Our sites are really starting to come together.
    • Teamwork
      • Our teams have worked extemely hard to put together a good, quality website. As many of you have probably already expirienced, trying to come up with all the details of a quality website is extremely difficult- especially with the different opinions of everyone. This project has broughten our class, as a whole, closer together. Through the teamwork needed for this assignment, our team has gotten to know so many great people!
    • What program did we use to aid us in creating our website?
      • Like many of you probably did, we used Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004.
    • What helped us?
      • You all did! It helped us so much to be talking to the Japan and England students about how their website was going. You all gave us so many ideas, thank you!
